The Power of Habits

By understanding how deeply habits were the anchor of their own lives, the Espers had realized that they could change many things simply through habit.

The power of habits seemed almost magical.

Step by step, little by little, what had seemed impossible at first suddenly became possible, even easy.

And by following the few principles developed in One Daily Tale by the Seven Shapes, habits allowed them to develop their StarDust.

The Espers around the world had agreed to take part in the collective effort, and recovering the artifacts of the five elements, as well as those of balance and time, had become a natural rite of passage.

It had become part of the world’s customs, and for every Esper, creating habits to develop their StarDust had also become part of their culture.

The power of habits, underestimated until then, was finally revealing its true value.

By learning a little more each day, by taking care of themselves and others, and by taking responsibility for nature, which provides the resources necessary for our natural needs, society as a whole had achieved the impossible: a global paradigm shift.
